Current Production

“Seussical, Jr.”  is based on “The Cat in the Hat” and “Horton Hears a Who”, two much-loved stories that are cleverly woven together into a fantastical musical extravaganza to delight everyone who loves Dr. Seuss.

The Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who hears a little voice emanating from a speck of dust – a cry for help from a tiny people called the Whos – and decides to protect them by moving the dust speck onto a clover. When some of Horton’s neighbours in the Jungle of Nool mock him for hearing voices coming from a dust speck, only his friend Gertrude McFuzz faithfully defends him.  She secretly loves Horton, but he never notices her.

The Cat introduces a boy, JoJo. He is a Thinker whose enormous “Thinks” always get him in trouble. He and Horton bond in a dream as they talk about their wonderful “Thinks”.

Horton has vowed to protect the Whos, but the clover is stolen and Horton can’t find it.

Irresponsible Mayzie La Bird begs Horton to sit on the egg in her nest for a while, so she can take a break. Horton agrees.

The Hunters come after him but Horton escapes, only to be sold to the Circus McGurkus, where he is locked up. Mayzie refuses to reclaim her egg, so Horton takes responsibility for it. Gertrude arrives and releases him, telling him that she has found his clover. Finally, he notices her!

Horton’s neighbours then take him to court for talking to a speck and he is remanded to the Nool Asylum. Despite this, he contacts the Whos and tells them how to escape being boiled in oil. They manage to pull this off, and JoJo is honoured as a “Thinker Nonstop”, to Horton’s delight.

Then comes a lovely surprise, which we are not going to reveal here. You will have to wait for the ending of the show to find out what it is!
